Yup... no mental model needed. I just see how it works and adjust.
If someone cannot easily adjust to this simple thing, when life is far more complex, changing and unpredictable, then they are well and truly f*cked

Sure, but the question inadvertently posed by all the posters before use that don't like the interface, but for the most part do not go into detail about it, is why? why don't they like it? To me mono color and utility VS skeuomorphism aren't enough, and the one awkward part of Plasmonic is the course and fine controls in my mind and I would bet most peoples minds, "switch" sides depending on whether horizontal or vertical.RobertH2 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 2:12 am The thing is, it could be any arbitrary arraignment. That doesn't matter. What's important is the mental model that you have, how you think about it. If you use the wrong model, the one that does not work, no matter if it is "right" or "wrong", just leads to frustration. Do you want to be right or do you want it to work? Show some flexibility. Saying / thinking it "should" be this way, doesn't make it so. Come up with a way to make it work in your mind.

Actually it's kind of important design feature of the synth that does have an impact, and rather unique as soft synths go. Ironically your post was the first one that was needlessly condescending and argumentative. Most of us who are discussing this have also bought the synth. But glad you've unsubscribed, thanks for letting us know.elassi wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 3:41 pm Hey guys, I'll come back to your weird discussion in late January '24 when you're probably ready to stop debating about a single micro-issue that does not have any impact at all, besides causing a typical KVR-thread full of "my point of view is way better than yours".
Oh, meanwhile I bought this fantastic software.

Agreed, it is a very important design choice to a bunch of people here, myself included, and i'm glad to have a discussion about it. That is part of why i'm a member here.Echoes in the Attic wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 5:03 pmActually it's kind of important design feature of the synth that does have an impact, and rather unique as soft synths go.

It is absolutely exciting ! and to mirror your phrasing: ....thats the crux of it
I went into extreme details why this UI absolutely sucks. Gave very clear and exact examples.machinesworking wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 3:15 pmSure, but the question inadvertently posed by all the posters before use that don't like the interface, but for the most part do not go into detail about it, is why? why don't they like it?

Yes, I can get used to it, no, I don't think it's logical or good UX. The rest is great UX, especially when taking touch screens into account.
It's not about Absynth... but rather that some of us can enjoy and have fun with differences and are not trying to force everything into some bland, homogenous standard devoid of color and difference.
Fair Enough, I tend to at most like Digital sounding stuff if they go thru very analog sounding filters, but yeah, we all can't like the same things.
